Record Month Edition
It wasn't only the weather that stayed warmer than usual in Europe, hot plug-in sales reached a new all-time high in November, with a record 19.577 units were sold, up 14% regarding the previous month and an impressive 115% YoY, with nearly 160.000 registered until now, total YTD sales are headed for
Looking at the monthly models ranking, the Mitsu Outlander PHEV is fully profiting from the restyled version, selling 2.876 units, its best result since March, comfortably ahead of the Number Two, the Renault Zoe, with 2.041 units, followed by the Tesla Model S, Third with 1.425 sales.
Outside the podium seats, we have the VW Golf GTE (1.416 units) in Fourth, followed by the Star of the Month, the BMW i3, that has registered 1.287 units, beating its previous record by over 100 units (1.125 units last August).
Looking at the YTD ranking, the major change is the Renault Zoe ascending to the Second Place, switching positions with the Nissan Leaf, that dropped to #3, its worst position since February.
But it's below the Top 10 that things really become interesting: The Mercedes C350e climbs one position to #12, while the rising star Volkswagen Passat GTE jumped an additional four positions, this time to #17, will this be the 2016 D-Segment/midsize class Best Seller?
The Volvo XC90 T8 Plug-In joined the ranking at an impressive #23, already beating the direct competitor, the BMW X5 40e Plug-In, itself up four positions to #25.
In the brands ranking, Volkswagen is stable in the lead of Europe's EV Manufacturers Throne (19%, up 1%), followed by Mitsubishi (16%) in Second and Renault in Third, with 13%, while Nissan is #4, with 11%, down 1% share.

As for the Good Ol' Nissan Leaf, the waiting for the 30kWh version is clearly visible, with sales down to just 752 units, we have to go back more than two years (March 2013, 671 units) to see such a low level of sales coming from the japanese hatch...
Some models outside the Top 5 deserve a mention, the recent VW Passat GTE ended the month just outside the Top 5, at #6 with 1.247 units, while the Mercedes C350e had a spike in sales, rising to #8 with 939 units, whereas the long-running champion of the D-Segment/midsize class, the Volvo V60 Plug-In, also had a remarkable result, registering 722 units, its best result in two years!
Another hot segment is the Luxury SUV, where the Volvo XC90 T8 Plug-in Hybrid (731 sales) left the once undisputed leader, Porsche Cayenne Plug-in (309 units) miles behind, while the other rising star, the BMW X5 40e PHEV (461 sales), also has beaten the Cayenne by a wide margin.
